NICHOLAS

About this book

Nicholas is the first of five books that bring to life the day to day adventures of a young school boy - amusing endearing and always in trouble. An only child Nicholas appears older at school than he does as home and his touchingly naive reaction to situations cut through the preconceptions of adults and result in a formidable sequence of escapades. This first book in the series contains a collection of nineteen individual stories where in spite of trying to be good Nicholas and his friends always seem to end up in some kind of mischief. Whether in the school room at home or in the playground their exuberance often takes over and the results are calamitous at least for their teachers and parents. Whether confusing the photographer hired to take the class picture dealing with having to wear glasses for the first time or trying desperately to help the teacher when the school inspector pays a visit Nicholas always manages to make matters worse.
